Job Opportunity: Stock-Focused Couple Wanted
A rare chance has arisen for a stock-focused couple to join our close-knit team on a quality regenerative cattle operation in Queensland's Western Downs.
We cover 14,000 acres, utilising regenerative practices to background and finish cattle. Finished cattle are trucked fortnightly for processing, with the meat distributed on the wholesale market under our family beef brand.
Our business is built on extensive fencing and water reticulation, allowing us to cell graze contemporary weight mobs of 150-180 head.
Data is key to our operation, with the use of AgriWebb and consulting with Cibo Labs to assist in analysis.
Mobs are weighed and re-drafted weekly, made easier by quality yards and infrastructure, including a Clipex auto draft.
Inductions for incoming stock occur weekly, with all stock educated on horses and dogs before entering the program.
Animal health and nutrition are fundamental to our business ethos, mixing specific rations by processing purchased raw materials through our on-farm automated mill, which are then utilised in our on-farm feeding program.
To succeed in this role, both partners will need to be capable stock people, using horses, dogs, and low-stress stock handling techniques to be involved in all aspects of our dynamic operation.
The Requirements:
* Capable stock people utilising horses, dogs, and low-stress stock handling techniques
* Own well-trained horses and dogs
* HR licence (advantageous)
* Previous station or cattle enterprise experience
* Strong communication, organisational and record-keeping skills
* Digital literacy
* Mechanical and fabrication abilities
The Offer:
Along with a negotiable remuneration package, you will be comfortably accommodated in a fully furnished three-bedroom house with a study and horse paddock on the property, with front gate school bus access.
You will also have access to the various meat and produce grown on the property.
Located within an hour's drive of Condamine, Roma and Chinchilla, you will be assisted with forming connections within the community and have access to various sporting clubs.
